"Real" Madrid played irresistibly in the first UEFA Champions League round of 16 match. Spanish giants crushed "Schalke" from Gelsenkirchen 6:1 in an away game. One of the heroes of the match was the club's newcomer Gareth Bale, who scored two goals. "Today we played excellently. We were completely prepared for this match and achieved a convincing result. We want to win every tournament we play in. We know it won't be easy, because so many powerful clubs are also fighting for the title," Bale said.
